Hello,
i have a question for the suspension and axle guys out there. i know a lot about cars, however admitedly, i know nothing about this subject. i recently went into and unnamed tire shop (at least unnamed for now) to get 4 new tires and an alignemnt. 4 blocks after i picked my car up the front right corner droped and i couldnt move an inch. after towing the car to the tire store and them examining it, they said the ball joint went out. so here its my question.
is that somehting you would mess with while doing and alignment or tire change? And or can the alingment have cuased this ball joint failure in any way?
it just seems too coincidental that it works fine then 30 min after i get it "fixed" the wheel virtually falls off.
thanks for your responses
